Bulldog wrestlers tie IHSA record
By Teryn Schaefer on December 6, 2012 at 10:09 am
Members of the 2012-13 Waterloo Wrestling team (not listed in any particular order) are: Zach Shaw, Adam Henson, Grayson Moehrs, Evan Thorpe, Brandon Foerg, Mack Mundy, Carter Pate, Travis Potter, Max Jennings, Cole Lawrence, Jeremy Oliver, Cole Milam, Devon Netemeyer, Austin Stewart, Zach McNealy, Sam Korves, Paul Stewart, Vince Gagliardi, Bradley Sumpter, Shane Biffar, Travis Ingram, Kevin Haley, Bryan Bumps, Joe Snover, Pat Bieber, Tyler Mohl, Ezra Acup, Lucas Hagar, Jackson Jennings, Isaac Dodd, Denis Wilson, Omar Farag and Coach Pat Stewart.
On Tuesday, the Waterloo High School wrestling team became the 28th school in Illinois history to score the most points in a dual meet.
"It was a perfect night," first-year Bulldog wrestling coach Pat Stewart said, explaining that his team scored the maximum amount of points possible in a dual meet by collecting eight forfeits and six pins against Mater Dei.
Stewart said he knew history was within reach when the first few wrestlers pinned their competition.
"I told the last two or three kids they needed a pin," he said.
And they pulled through, as WHS junior Joe Snover sealed the deal for his team in the last match with a pin. A total of 14 Waterloo wrestlers scored six points each on the night.
"We've been on the bottom end of the record books, and now we're on top," Stewart said.
Waterloo also defeated Althoff on Tuesday night, 61-14, advancing their record to 7-2 on the season. The Bulldogs will compete in the Jerseyville Tournament this weekend before returning home on Dec. 12 against Cahokia for senior night.
Below are the 27 teams that currently hold the record for most points in a dual meet according to the IHSA record books:

History of Greece's Jewish Community Before the Holocaust Presented in D.C.
The event, titled "The Jewish Community of Greece Before the Holocaust: A Multimedia Presentation", was a collaborative effort by the Hellenic American Women's Council (HAWC) with support from Sephardic Heritage International D.C.
Wheat Songs is a memoir of two interconnected Greek-American journeys―an actual physical journey for the grandfather, Pericles Rizopoulos, and a philosophical quest by the author, Perry Giuseppe Rizopoulos. When the grandfather, Pericles Rizopoulos, a proud old man, tells his fascinating, tragic and true stories of the Nazi occupation of Greece during World War II and the following Greek Civil War, to his twenty-something grandson, Perry Giuseppe Rizopoulos, Perry's philosophical reflections on his grandfather's stories along with his own memories of growing up in his extended Greek/Italian/American family in the Bronx combine to create an enduring story about the strength created by a tightly-knit family and the powerful values passed down from generation to generation.
During the massive wave of immigration the United States between 1881 and 1924, an estimated 15 million immigrants entered the country. By all estimates, both Greek-Christian and Greek-Jewish immigrants were a small minority. What is of interest is the fact, that according to the major source of official data (ship manifests) of those emigrants from Epirus, the greater majority appear to be Jews. While the impetus to leave might have been the same, the dynamics of the emigration and the intentions varied. While all emigrants shared the desire to find resources to improve their lives back in the old country, most Greek-Orthodox Christians thought of the move as temporary, the majority hoping to shortly return to live out their improved existence in Greece. For most Greek-Jews the move was permanent.
"The evolution of the Greek Diaspora constitutes an integral part of Modern Greek history. One cannot appreciate the development of the Modern Greek State without understanding the consequences and impact of migration.
There are very few corners of the globe where Greek migrants have not set foot.
The developed regions of North America, Europe and Australia have attracted the majority of Greek migrants in recent times. Relatively few have sought their fortunes in less developed parts of the world, the so-called 'Third World'.
Even fewer to Sub-Saharan Africa or Black Africa as it is known in the popular imagination.
The migration of Greeks, although only a trickle, to Sub-Saharan Africa has its origins in the late 19th century, overlapping with the 'Scramble for Africa' by the various colonial empires of the era.
GREEKS IN WASHINGTON - read the following excerpt from article "Firm, Fair and Friendly"
"From the early nineteenth century through to the 1960s, the Greeks formed the largest, most economically powerful, and geographically and socially diverse of all European communities in Egypt. Although they benefited from the privileges extended to foreigners and the control exercised by Britain, they claimed nonetheless to enjoy a special relationship with Egypt and the Egyptians, and saw themselves as contributors to the country's modernization.

Iron Man; Extremis Not Included
Since 2008, Iron Man has been one of the most popular superheroes in the world. In that time, he went from a mid-rank character to the forefront of Marvel's stories and events. Obviously the wildly successful film starring Robert Downey Jr is a huge factor; but what proceeded that?
Frankly, if you asked me to make a list of GOOD Iron Man stories pre-2007; it would be a small list. The character never seemed to catch on to more than a base number of fans. He had a pretty appalling cartoon in the 90s (as well as going through the 90s themselves), and even when he appeared in other heroes' cartoons it always left a disappointed feeling when it was over. His suit would fail after five minutes or Rhodey had to sub for him because he couldn't leave his work-bench for…reasons. How does THAT guy build a fanbase? In short, he doesn't!
Iron Man had to be rebuilt, much like he has to in the comics periodically. Life imitating Art, it seems. So Brian Micheal Bendis placed Tony Stark inside a clandestine cadre of the Marvel U called the Illuminati, made up of some of the most powerful (and also under-used) characters whose mission was to preemptively deal with problems before they become too large. Mark Millar cast Tony as the Antagonist for Civil War, putting him in a huge position of power but also dubious politics. But that's not enough for a character who can't succeed in his own book.
To Marvel's credit, many talented people have worked on Iron Man's solo title before the 2000s. However, not even Stan Lee could make the character work when he was introduced. His early adventures look like a poorer version of Siegal and Shuster's Superman strips from the 1940s, and there is an overabundance of mentions for "The Iron Man" as though every character is trying to push the Howard Hughes knock-off out and bring in a tortured soul in a metal suit. The potential was never forged in the right amount of pressure and heat.
Eventually, Marvel wised up and put some effort into making Iron Man a bankable character due to his impending film debut. One such effort was Warren Ellis and Adi Granov's Extremis arc kicking off a new volume for Iron Man.
This is what many fans point to as the turning point for Tony from B-List to A-List. Ellis uses tricks that should be familiar to fans of his work on Moon Knight; hyper-compression in plot, small tweeks to the hero's origin, political overtones, less emphasis on action, and a sudden ending. Reading it now it's hard to see what it does new, and I think that points to how much it has changed Iron Man. Tony is haunted by his profiteering from weapons, shuns human contact for isolation to work on his suit, and an almost depressed lack of direction for what he should do next. Not only is this common in the comics, it's also prevalent in Iron Man (2008) and Iron Man 3 (2013).
Iron Man is a somewhat unusual Cape movie, which may explain some of its success. It doesn't start out with an obvious love interest, it has multiple antagonists (three if you want to be technical), and the plot kind of zig-zags between story moments. A good portion of the movie is spent without Tony fighting a villain; instead he's improving his armor and brooding about what his purpose in life is. It's all done with a sense of fun, in fact they don't make them like this anymore. It breaks a lot from the conventional choices that other movies make. There is the sense of verisimilitude in Robert Downey Jr as well as the focus on Middle-Eastern conflict. Tony is almost a stand-in for America; wealthy and bored while the repercussions of the past hide in the wings. After facing them, he wishes to find a new purpose in life atoning for his mistakes without totally losing his sense of self. Then there is the ending where Tony Stark decides he is not the average superhero and reveals himself as Iron Man to the world. That's about the last time I think the film version of Tony Stark actually "grew."
In any case, Marvel followed The Avengers with Iron Man 3. It made a billion dollars, and divided fans pretty fiercely trying to adapt the Extremis storyline. There do not seem to be a lot of connections between the comic and the film; both start with Tony retreating from others by working on his suit, involve a disastrous low point, fights with meta-humans, and feature Maya Hanson and Aldrich Killian. Where they differ is pretty intriguing; there is only one Extremis powered villain in the comic, and he is like a right-wing tech version of the Unibomber on a mission to destroy Washington D.C., returning the country to it's "intended" state. Tony suffers a lack of purpose and direction for where he should take his resources, while still maintaining his cover that Iron Man is a bodyguard for his company. Aldrich Killian is responsible for Extremis falling in the wrong hands, but Maya Hanson is the true mastermind of the story. In the film, Tony suffers from PTSD from the invasion of New York, builds hundreds of disposable armors while obsessing over his latest one because he can put it on cooler, hides out in a small town after being attacked by ManNotHimAgain, and Aldrich Killian is the true villain of the movie with crazy soldiers that breath fire and explode. There was an excellent chance for IM3 to tie Tony's PTSD to what he experienced in the first film escaping from the Ten Rings, but it will probably never happen.
After Iron Man was upgraded with Extremis in the comics, Tony was able to transition into his armor in seconds by carrying its components inside his bones. Not only that, Tony Stark felt complex and interesting. A man always on the move toward women, danger, invention/innovation, with reckless abandon. He did it in style too, as I believe Adi Granov's redesigns for his armor become a template for both the films and comics.
Perhaps what Extremis did was examine, really examine the character of Tony Stark. Maybe, it gave him actual weight as a hero to root for. In any case, it was followed a short time after by Matt Fraction and Salvador Laruca's Invincible Iron Man run, which won numerous Eisner awards and fleshed out Tony Stark's world. It's a run that is maybe too long for its own good but could be the latest benchmark for the character and owes plenty to Ellis and Granov's 6 issue arc.
After three solo movies, and a less morally conscious Tony Stark with a new version of the Extremis armor featured in Superior Iron Man, I'm curious to see just how far the roots of an arc from 2006 will stretch into the character of Iron Man and if his success will depend on it.

XRP the 'third largest collapse of all time' says The TIE's Josh Frank
Home / XRP the 'third largest collapse of all time' says The TIE's Josh Frank
The XRP token's market capitalization has fallen almost $130 billion since its all-time high in 2018, making the cryptocurrency project's decline comparable to the collapse of major financial institutions.
According to Josh Frank of crypto-focused research company The TIE, the project is experiencing a collapse similar to some of the biggest corporate scandals and catastrophes in recent history.
XRP's market cap has fallen by 93% from $137B to under $10B. That makes the value of the XRP collapse bigger than Enron and Worldcom.
While not a bankruptcy, XRP is effectively the third largest collapse of all time behind Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual.
— Joshua Frank (@Joshua_Frank_) December 30, 2020
At its peak, XRP's market capitalization was roughly $140 billion in January 2018. It has recently slipped under $10 billion, an estimated loss of $130 billion in under three years. This effectively makes the "collapse" of XRP third behind only the $327 billion bankruptcy of Washington Mutual and the failure of investment giant Lehman Brothers — a financial meltdown valued at $691 billion — in 2008.
"It is sad and unfortunate that the biggest losers in the [XRP] saga are the individual investors who lost unimaginable amounts of money," Frank told Cointelegraph. "The founders of Ripple continued to dump their tokens for years and made hundreds of millions of dollars."
Following the news that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissions would charge Ripple, CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen with conducting an "unregistered, ongoing digital asset securities offering" for their XRP sales, the token price has dropped precipitousl. Crypto exchanges including Coinbase, Bittrex, OKCoin, Bitstamp, OSL, Beaxy, and CrossTower later announced they would suspend trading for XRP or delist the token entirely, providing additional bearish fuel.
Institutional players have also started distancing themselves from XRP. Grayscale Investments' website now states that its "XRP Trust private placement is currently closed" with one Twitter user claiming the firm would also no longer process pending applications for the XRP Trust.
At the time of publication, the price of XRP is $0.21, having fallen more than 65% in the last 30 days.

Dark Matter Cast News – Billy MacLellan in "Ice Blue" and "The Silence"
Shanice Banton in 'Her Stolen Past' – Mia Kirshner in 'A Swingers Weekend'
Billy MacLellan as Brady Holt in BELLEVUE (Tuesdays at 9/8c on WGN America).
Billy MacLellan (Temal Danker in "Wish I'd Spaced You When I Had The Chance") is The Reverend in John Leonetti's horror film THE SILENCE, based on the 2015 novel by Tim Lebbon about a plague of mutant bats. (After being attacked by a parasitic organism, the bats morph into a new lethal species called Vesps, which rapidly increase in number and attack the human population.) The story follows Ally (Kiernan Shipka), a deaf teenager, whose heightened senses enable her to know when the Vesps are nearby. She and her family retreat to the woods where they must live in total silence, because even the slightest noise attracts the creatures. Filmed in Toronto, THE SILENCE will premiere in Germany on 6 September.
MacLellan and Sally Hawkins on the set of the award-winning biographical romance MAUDIE, now available on iTunes.
MacLellan will also be Arielle's father John in ICE BLUE, a film about the unexpected return of Arielle's mother, Maria (played by Michelle Morgan). Maria had vanished some ten years previously, and her return causes Arielle (Sophia Lauchlin Hirt) to question everything that her father has ever told her about their family. Director Sandi Somers told Jessica Melnychuk of Local Drop Magazine: "One of the last times I saw my mother before she died, she asked me if I'd heard this message. She didn't tell me what it was – she said 'I'll tell you about it the next time I see you'. And I still don't know what it was. What was it she wanted to spend focused time with me to tell me about? It triggered the inspiration for some of the film's themes." ICE BLUE had its premiere last September at the Calgary International Film Festival. Continue reading →

Image size is approximately 10" x 14" inches with an overall size of 12" x 16" inches.
Limited Edition prints are lithographic reproductions that has a specific number of prints that will be produced from the original and the quantity is established in advance of printing and cannot be exceeded. Limited Editions have a recognized value in the world market due to the artist's renowned reputation and collectability. Once the Edition is sold out it cannot be reproduced, thus increasing in value. Each print is individually embossed, numbered and personally signed by the artist in pencil with a Certificate of Authenticity accompanying each print.

Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) are prints produced on artist quality canvas, using pigmented based light fast inks. Their process of printing has become the leading method of producing exceptionally high quality fine art reproductions. The quality of each print is amazing and reflects favorable the beauty and texture of the original work. Graeme personally oversees each giclee production to insure the integrity of the image and color. Each print is individually numbered and personally signed on the back of the canvas by the artist.

18" x 24" | 20" x 30" | 24" x 36" | And larger canvas sizes are available on request.
Remarque/Pencil Drawings
Remarque Originals are a small, personalized "original" drawing or symbol that an artist adds (near their signature or under the image) on a print. The presence of a Remarque increases the print's value. Originally, Remarque's were remarks made, in pencil that identified the various stages a printing plate went through while in the process of being finalized. Nowadays, a Remarque is primarily a "value-added" option for print collectors - meaning you can have an artist's Remarque added to your printed edition. All Remarque Originals are one size only, 12" x 29".
Originals are oil based paintings produced on the finest linen canvas available.
Originals canvas sizes range from:
18" x 24" | 20" x 30" | 24" x 36" | 30" x 46" | 40" x 60" And larger canvas sizes are available on request.

Q: How is the confidence interval built when executing the Wilcoxon.test in R? I want to calculate the confidence interval around the median obtained from this data set:
dat <- c(2.10, 2.35, 2.35, 3.10, 3.10, 3.15, 3.90, 3.90,  4.00,  4.80, 5.00,  5.00,  5.15,  5.35,  5.50,  6.00,  6.00,  6.25,  6.45)

The descriptive statistics:
summary(dat)
 Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
2.100   3.125   4.800   4.392   5.425   6.450

I cannot find how the confidence interval that is presented together with the wilcoxon test results is calculated:
wilcox.test(dat, conf.int = T, correct = T, exact = F, conf.level = .99)
    Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction

data:  dat
V = 190, p-value = 0.0001419
alternative hypothesis: true location is not equal to 0
99 percent confidence interval:
 3.450018 5.499933
sample estimates:
(pseudo)median
      4.400028

I just want to estimate the median of the population with a confidence interval using a non-parametric method. How the confidence interval shown above is related to the Wilcoxon signed rank test?

A:
I just want to estimate the median of the population with a confidence interval using a non-parametric method.

Note that the interval generated for the signed rank test is for the population version of the one-sample Hodges-Lehmann statistic (the pseudomedian), not the median.
Under the assumption of symmetry (which is necessary under the null for the signed rank test, but not necessarily required under the alternative, which is what you're calculating a confidence interval under), the two population quantities will coincide. You may be happy to make that somewhat stronger assumption, but keep in mind that it's quite possible for the sample median to fall outside the CI this generates.

How is the confidence interval shown above related to the Wilcoxon signed rank test?

It's the set of values for the pseudomedian that would not be rejected by a signed rank statistic. You can actually find the limits that way; this is a pretty general way to arrive at confidence intervals for statistics you don't have a simpler way to do it for.
There's a specific way to find the limits for the signed rank test that doesn't need you to do that, but you can use search methods to get there quite quickly with this general approach.
The more specific approach for the signed rank test is based on a symmetric pair of order statistics of the Walsh averages (averages of each $(i,j)$ pair $\frac{1}{2}(X_i+X_j)$, for $i \leq j$ ... i.e. including each point averaged with itself). The signed rank statistic is the number of positive $W$s.
Then if we label those averages $W_k, k=1, 2, ..., m$ where $m=n(n+1)/2$, the corresponding interval will be the symmetric pair of order $(W_{(k)},W_{(m+1-k)})$ with $k$ chosen as small as possible but still leads to endpoints in the non-rejection region of the test.
(This pdf outlines that in some detail.)

BCIS five-year forecast of facilities management costs
The latest BCIS forecast for the Facilities Management sector shows that Covid-19 pandemic and the implementation of the Brexit deal have been impacting on overall economic activity, as well as maintenance activity, and the war in Ukraine has led to a general uncertainty.
This has resulted in pressures on costs, particularly energy and some materials costs. They will also have a significant impact on the availability of labour such as drivers, materials, and energy.
It is assumed that these effects are expected to remain for a few years and then resolve themselves, but they could be exacerbated by the war in Ukraine.
Annual percentage change R&M output, maintenance, cleaning and energy costs (output is full year on full year, costs are 4Q on 4Q):
Source: BCIS
According to the latest BCIS Quarterly briefing: Maintenance, cleaning and energy1, over the forecast period (4Q2021 to 4Q2026):
Maintenance costs will rise 16.4%: annual inflation of 3.5% in the year to 4Q2022, falling slightly to 2.8% in the following year and settling at around 3% in each of the following three years, mainly reflecting wage rises.
Cleaning costs will rise 24.4%: there will be demand pressures as workplaces are adapted to the post covid requirements and pressure on wages from the demand and the National Living Wage (NLW). Costs are expected to rise 6.5% and 5.5% in the first two years of the forecast slowing to around 3.5% per annum thereafter.
Energy costs are currently very volatile and have been rising sharply, they are expected to rise by 33.1% over the forecast period, with large rises in oil and gas prices in the year to 4Q2022 followed by modest increases in 2023. Energy costs are predicted to decline over the rest of the period as the markets stabilise.
R&M annual output is forecast to decline around 0.7% from 2021 to 2026. It is expected to rise around 4.2% between 2021 and 2022 as pent-up demand and alterations required by a new working environment push up demand. Output will slow over the rest of the forecast period. The recladding of flats following the Grenfell fire and work to reduce the carbon emissions from housing will be included in the R&M output figures; an allowance for this has been included in the forecast.
The Facilities Management costs forecast are based on information available up to 18 March 2022.
The full BCIS Quarterly briefing: Maintenance, cleaning and energy 2022 is published in the Briefing section, as part of the BCIS Building Running Costs online service.

There used to be this great tv commercial when I was growing up and the slogan was "Reach out and touch someone". The ad was for the phone company and it was all about picking up the phone and talking to the people you care about: friends, family, etc.. It was touching and I'm sure it encouraged many to go ahead and ring up those loved ones they had put off ringing up. Of course, this was years before the advent of mobile phones and text messaging.
When text messaging became available, I rejoiced. I thought, "Oooh, I may never actually have to make a phone call again." This is because I have a phobia, arising from fear of rejection, of making phone calls. Honestly, if you have ever received a phone call from me you must understand that it made me physically sick to my stomach and I probably deliberated for a long time about it and I first would have begged my mother or my husband to call you for me, and then if they refused I would sit there and stare at the phone in agony before finally making myself make the call. No matter how many times I face this fear and actually make a call, it never ever ever gets any easier. So, text messaging certainly seems to be the thing invented for me. Right?
Well…you'd think so. The problem is, like all text related forms of communication, it's easy to have misunderstandings, it's very easy to misread the "tone" of a message. There's no voice inflection and no way to really prevent getting the wrong idea sometimes. So, today when I got a message from a friend that took a major detour from our present conversation, I assumed it meant something that it didn't mean, because I caught a different "tone" than what was intended by the sender of the message. So, I sent back something I thought was appropriate. However, lo, and behold, it was anything but the right thing! I had gotten the wrong end of the stick and the message I sent back upset this person – a person who means a lot to me. They're not talking to me now. This is pretty heartbreaking since I don't have many close friends that live close to me, and I hate that I have lost another one. I have a difficult time making and keeping friends. The last time I lost a friend was simply because the person decided I didn't really fit into their life any more. So, mostly on their part, the closeness of friendship, sadly, ceased. But, this time it is my fault. This time I am to blame.
I mean, I am to blame, right? I can't honestly blame the technology? I can't just sit here and bemoan how I was born in the wrong era, can I? i.e. I should have been born (to a noble family) in the middle ages. No phones of any kind. You either got a scribe to pen you a letter, or you talked face to face (and the letters were usually summons to come and see one face to face).


Bremer-Murray: I showed it to my daughter, and she couldn't stop crying. She said, "It literally took my breath away, Mom. I can't believe I'm crying like this." And she's not overly spiritual. It really affected me.
Di Sabatino: I'm amazed at the ability this has to reach out to people who are not really religious.
It's like I was telling Connie: if people were exposed to more people like her and Lonnie instead of the Christians we see today in the mainstream media, there would be more Christians.
"The Quest For The Radical Middle: A History of the Vineyard", is written by Vineyard pastor Bill Jackson and iis sold through the Vineyard's online bookstore.
David Di Sabatino has written an excellent article on the ministry of Lonnie Frisbee and his history with the Vineyard movement, which is included in this book, originally published in 1999.
The Vineyard avoided mentioning Frisbee for years, it is true, but the inclusion of Di Sabatino's article on Lonnie Frisbee in this book is an excellent and honest attempt to rectify this.


Julia slammed her finger in the door to the upstairs (and there was blood so I ran away) and Simon convinced me that she had severed her finger off completely (not funny then, not funny now).
Sebastian fell alllllll the way down the stairs to the basement on two separate occasions and was perfectly fine both times.
Simon baked two loaves of banana bread and a batch of hearty peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies.
I went to the gym. Twice. For approximately 19 minutes and almost suffered a painful death by mortification. Twice.
Theo slept 7 hours during the day. Theo did not sleep 7 hours during the night. I resolved (again!!) to stop letting Theo sleep so much during the day.
Saw a crazy uptick in spam comments for some reason but still refuse to turn on word verificrazy because I don't hate you.
Simon and I watched that terribly tragic episode of Downton from last week. We knew it was coming and it was still sort of unbelievable.
And we fired up the old night float rotation which is always good for a happy dance. I tried to take the kids to visit Simon on Sunday to watch a bit of the Bowl and drop off some of these. Instead I ended up circling the parking garage for an hour. I don't think I'd truly lived until I lived to type about waiting for Simon to break free from his ladies while holding Theo's pacifier in (never in the history of pacifiers has their been a baby that is worse at keeping a stupid pacifier in) and ripping open fruit snack packs from the Costco box that has made a home in the front seat of the van (my middle name? Shame. Why do you ask?) with my bare teeth and chucking them in the back to Tweedle Antsy and Tweedle Antsier while listening to Kelly Clarkson and other awesomely bad and tired beats. We did eventually see Simon for four whole minutes before something urgent pulled him away so hopefully this doesn't read as an ungrateful complaint. So, this month of night float is off to a super stellar start, slivers of silver linings and all.
Best family pictures ever. ever ever.
And seriously, that episode was a heart breaker.
Also, thank you from the bottom of my blind heart for not turning on the words.
Sending sleep vibes Theo's way!
thank you for not turning word verification on...i can never get them right on the first (or 5th?) try, and start to feel like maybe i AM a robot..."is that an L or a 1?!"..
Julia's shirt is different in the pictures?
I hate night float, we have a couple of months before my husband has it for another full month, ick. I think he's seen the kids for a total of 5 mins the past 2 days. Good luck in surviving it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for not turning on word verification.
I love that you go to visit Simon at work. I think it's great that he gets to see his kids even if it is only for 4 minutes between birthing babies. Sometimes when I think my life is hard, I think about yours and say a little prayer for you. These are the tough days, my dear, and you're doing amazing!
Thank you for NOT turning on the comment verification. I've noticed the same -- tons of spam comments, but I hate the other option so I just resort to manual deletion, I guess.
Those pictures are too much!! Love them.
That episode almost killed me. I knew who would die, but it was so horrible! (I mean the death itself, not the episode, which was well done except I want to know what idiot thought it would be a good idea to intersperse humorous scenes with that nightmare-like storyline. Comic relief is all well and good, but one can go too far.
I could use Mac photobooth as a babysitter with my crew. And my oldest son Byron also repeatedly fell down the steps as a toddler and seems normal enough. Any "issues" I chalk up to my husband's genes more than anything. Totally not negligent parenting.
If I've said it once, I'm pretty sure I've said it at least a thousand times (and that's just to you excluding everyone else I ever talk to), I don't know how you put up with a whole month of night float at a time!! You're my hero(ine--does anyone still say the fem versh?)! Even if the total of week long night float adds up to the same as the month long ones you guys do by the end of the year, I would so take one night float week a month to an entire month at a time. So anyway that is to say, I am embarrassed by how much I complain about it and I will be offering up our almost upon us week for you guys! Good luck and I'll be sending some prayers up for you!
downton. gooooshhhh that episode did me in. sybil was my fave. sybil and anna. so if something happens to anna season four, i'm done with you downton. also, i thought about remaining a kind heart but i could also tell you that i nominated you. more people should know about your blog cause we all need some funny slash cute kids slash style slash whatever else you decide to post monday thru friday. i mean, a lot of people know about it already but more, more, more! and simon seems to do a lot of baking. i don't think steve's ever baked. so send over some banana bread next time he's doing his thing in the kitchen.
Your family is awesome. That is all.
I see that everybody's favorite backpack-toting adventurer also made an appearance in the second take. Front and (almost)center. fabulous.
i make gooey cinnamon squares from the smitten kitchen cookbook that were part snickerdoodle cookie and part gooey-butter cake. i of course thought of your cookies. and then, i of course over-baked it so the gooey part wasn't so gooey. i'll make those cookies one day, i swear!
I still need to make the butter cookies. I think I am just holding out for the weigh in at today's ob. Why do they do that to us? I know I'm big. Forget it.
Those family photos = awesome! Love, love, love it!


Bay windows are one of the oldest and most enduring features of residential architecture. From the Renaissance homes of French nobility to 19th century English flats or the most modern of American houses, bay windows are an attractive addition that looks just as great from the outside as it does from the inside. But if you're planning on adding bay windows to your home, start by considering what style you'd prefer most. Which fits with your home's current decor and design?
Marvin replacement windows in New Jersey has you covered no matter what bay window type you choose. Traditionally, they're made from three separate windows – one larger picture window flanked by smaller ones on either side, usually set at angles. However, Marvin's fiberglass replacement windows offer the versatility of construction that means you can adopt any look you want for your home. The one unchangeable factor is that your home will be well-lit and beautiful.
Houzz provides this style window as a great example of a basic bay, though without the angled windows – and with the right window installation help, an ideal renovation for any home. Box bays consist of a literal box of space being added to one side of your ground floor room. The box bay doesn't have to extend far out in order to offer your room a new spaciousness and superior lighting, either. It's a great spot to place a desk or add a window seat for reading and relaxation.
According to Houzz, any bay window that's not on the ground floor but cantilevered and protruding from an upper story is called an oriel window. No matter their design, oriel windows are an immediately distinctive feature of any home. Working it into the overall architecture of your home is a great idea – consider how an oriel bay window could work as an overhang for your front door.
This is the style of bay window that most folks are familiar with. Unlike a box bay, this style angles its windows so that they provide a more panoramic view around a multi-sided box. Angled bays can be installed on the bottom floor, but there's no reason they can't also work as oriel windows and be constructed above.
Take the angled bay window and gently smooth it out – that's how you get the bow. With softer geometry, these windows offer a different architectural style than your typical bay window, but just as much light. They're ideal for rooms with long walls that will benefit from exquisite views.

In the book Voodoo Science by Robert L. Park he discusses the details of junk science and the differences between it and of actual science using the concept of how easily people are tricked into believing such things are scientifically sound. There is a progression from "honest error" that evolves "from self-delusion to fraud," he says. Further elaborating the definition: "The line between foolishness and fraud is thin. Because it is not always easy to tell when that line is crossed. Park, in the chapter "It's not news, it's entertainment" hits on a crucial element of media support stating that the media has no qualms publishing junk science since it increases readership and ratings. He explores how people are attracted to junk science and how the facts don't always convince a person as to what is real and what is not.
Park tackles a number of scientific hoaxes and examples of just plain bad science. He examines several different types of "voodoo science," with examples. There are scientists that apparently start out well-intentioned, but want so badly to believe in their own results that they ignore flaws in their research, and eventually start falsifying or obscuring evidence; the chapter on cold fusion covers this rather nicely. There are out-and-out hucksters, like the guys who will try to convince you that they've discovered perpetual motion, and will sell you an engine for a few hundred bucks. And there is "science" that has always been bad science, like homeopathy and astrology, that has nonetheless become an intractable part of our culture.
My favorite part of this read was Emily Rosa. I love it when I'm convinced the generation after mine is going to destroy us all or is going to sloth itself into inexistence and then someone surprises me and leaves me feeling like somehow the future may be a little brighter than I thought.For me, his book was eerie and I kept thinking, "Who exactly can we trust?" Unfortunately, voodoo science looks so much like real science until you start picking it apart, but even bad scientists can write very convincing books. I know even to trust the media as far as I can throw it, but even reporters can be the victims of bad science. So, what I've gleaned from his book, and the most important lesson of all, is to be skeptical and ask why, then take that information and compare it to what else has been studied about the same subject by different scientists. Hard work, I know. But I'm sure the pay-off is worth it because we all understand that knowing is half the battle.

Q: PouchDB Date/String conversion during Save/Load on iOS Safari Date on Safari for IOS get's converted to string during save/load
Chrome for Mac

*

*Saving object with date field (obj.date = new Date()) to PouchDB database

*Read the same object - typeof obj.date === object (and it's a proper Date)

Safari for iOS

*

*Saving object with date field (obj.date = new Date()) to PouchDB database

*Read the same object - typeof obj.date === string
So, in Chrome I get type persisted and on Safari not. Problem is when using this field in <input type="date"> - Works on chrome but not on Safari.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/yoorek/v5fcw/
Is it normal? or a Bug? Should I manually convert string to Date (ugly and I think it;s PouchDB role)

A: I responded on GitHub, but for the benefit of people on StackOverflow here's the link: https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues/2351
Edit: To clarify and not just link to the GitHub issue...
PouchDB is modeled after CouchDB, which expects JSON objects, not arbitrary JavaScript objects.
Out of all our backends (IndexedDB, WebSQL, LevelDB, and CouchDB), IndexedDB is actually the odd one out, because it's able to store more than just what you'd get with a JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(myDoc)).
However there is a real bug here in that IndexedDB is behaving differently from WebSQL, and I've opened a PR to fix that: https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/pull/2353.
Really IndexedDB should convert the Dates to strings before storing them, so you don't see inconsistent behavior across different backends.

A: See this issue but the short answer is that IndexedDB (the backend in chrome) can handle date objects but WebSQL (used in safari) can not.

"Beloved Sam": a challenged young man in Germany recalls his relationship with a charismatic American young man, in letters, as his brother overlooks
"Beloved Sam", ("Gebliebter Sam") from Queerblick (a short film video distributor in Germany), directed by Jugentreffs, from Think Big.
David (Johannes Adam) A somewhat portly man in Germany writes to a past American companion Sam (Noah Hutchins) who says he had come out as a tween and seems very mature and articulate indeed a few years later, having moved from the US back to Germany. In writing the letter, David recalls his meetings with Sam, and also his troubled relationship with his own brother.
This film is very short (4 min); in German with titles but with the flashback encounters in English.
I was most recently in Germany in 1999 (Berlin, Dresden); also 1972 (Frankfurt, Hamburg, saw the Wall from the train in the countryside.)

Why is 4H important for kids growing up in such a tech loaded world? Technology has affected 4H quite a bit in the last few years. Kids have so many new opportunities it can be difficult to keep them focused on hands on activities. If we can provide an outlet for kids to learn practical skills above and beyond technology, we believe those skills can benefit them the rest of their lives.
What skills are kids learning with 4H? Kids learn a whole lot about livestock showing to make the animals look their best, but also the proper ways to feed them and keep them healthy. Beyond ag skills, the kids are also learning about public speaking, trustworthiness, record keeping and community service. These skills will help them in any field they decide to pursue.
What's the most rewarding part of your job? My favorite part of this work is seeing the kids accomplish something, and the "Aha!!!" reaction on their face. I feel so privileged and lucky to be able to see them grow. Knowing that I had a part in that makes me so proud.
What are the kids up to this time of year? Right now the kids are gearing up for their show at the county fair in the end of July. They'll be getting their goats and sheep shortly to feed until then.

Happy Monday from the Sunny Accra, Ghana!!!
While home, I have been keeping tabs on the amazing trends that are popping up during New York Fashion Week. One that I have loved for so long, and wanted to get my hands on is the amazing power suit. The challenge with suits is that it is incredibly hard to find a suit that is both feminine and flattering...and then curve friendly.
The good news is, I found this matching set from Talbots Fall 2016 collection. This set is part of their Modern Style suiting collection which ranges from dark greens, and blues all the way to this light pink number.
I chose to pair it with these gorgeous leopard print wedges, to give it a pop and tie the whole look together. I have mentioned many times that leopard print is my mama's favorite color, so I always sneak it in as needed.
Overall I looove how this Talbots look came together, I will say that you definitely need to size up on the pants! I am currently wearing a 14W jacket from their women's size category, and a size 16W bottom. Have a look at some more photos, and shop the look below!!!

Smart is also friends with author and animal communicator Amelia Kinkade, and was acknowledged in Kinkade's second book, The Language of Miracles. She is a former vegetarian.


Why Should We Choose Britax Travel System?
Here are a few reasons that make you have to visit Norway.
Nobel Peace Prize every year take place in Oslo Norway increasingly confirmed as one of the countries that play a role in world peace. Since 1904 has stood Det Norkse Nobelinstitutt who assist to choose Norwegian Nobel Committee Nobel Peace Prize recipient and as an annual event organizer laureates in Oslo. The institute library has 180,000 volumes relating to peace and international relations. Efforts to create peace in the world also continue, such as the Norwegian government as an architect of peace talks between the Palestinians and Israel for the first time through the Oslo Conference in 1993.
Been to Norway was not able to be separated by adventures in the wild. Fjord or sea that extends far inland to be one of the attractions of this country. Natural contours filled with forests, hills, lakes, mountains, cliffs, glaciers, and of course the vast stretches of ocean that makes the natural beauty of Norway no doubt. Geirangerfjord famous waterfalls seven children have been named as UNESCO World Heritage. Nordfjord is famous for the beauty of the sea and the surface of the crystal -clear water that can cause a reflection sights on it. Meanwhile, the longest fjord Sognefjord known as in Europe and second longest in the world.
Hiking into the mountains or steep cliff is one way to enjoy nature Norway. The most popular place to climb is Puplit Rock or Preikestolen in Stavenger with a height of 604 meters above sea level. Another option is the Molden Mountains in Bergen which has views to the main Sognefjord, and Geirangerfjord in Omesvinger which is a place with a waterfall of seven siblings can be directly viewed.
Spread of Christianity in Norway can not be separated from the history of Norway during the reign of the Vikings. Viking leader, Harald Harfagre, is a person who plays a role in uniting Norway around the year 900. Viking king, Olav, adopted the religion of the place occupied and make all the inhabitants embraced Christianity a century later. Until now there are some cathedral that contains the history of the spread of Christianity and made the city of Trondheim as an important place of pilgrimage in the Scandinavian region.
The occupation by the Vikings left many traces in Norway not only in the form of a cathedral, but also the cultural and historical heritage. Norwegian residents still maintain the tradition of wearing a traditional Norwegian costume is bunad in weddings and festivals. Folk dances, legends, and songs that talk about the Vikings is also popular in the local population.
In the story of Norwegian folk tales, trolls are supernatural creatures in the form of a very strong, big, and ugly. I was so big, the earth shook when setting foot Troll. When angry, troll can toss a large tree further up the sky. Some trolls are described as having the head, the other is described as having three, six, or nine heads. No one knows their age, not least the very advanced age so that their heads covered with grass.
Troll, according to belief, living in the mountains or in the darkness of the forest. Though strong and very big body, very stupid troll known as the whole story of Troll in the end he was defeated by the man who managed to persuade the Troll to get out and exposed to sunlight that makes trolls into stone. In Norway over the big rocks are often found in the mountains or forests that resemble the shape of Troll.


I've been listening to podcasts for about 3 years and it's now a daily ritual for me. I do not have cable and rarely turn my TV on, so podcasts have become my main form of entertainment, outside of social media. I love sharing what I find to be good for the brain &/or good for the soul, so here you go. Let me know if any of your faves are listed or what podcasts I should add to my roster!
Making Oprah is a deep dive into how Oprah became the woman she is today. The title alone made me listen because, I mean...it's Oprah...but the behind the scenes stories and interviews reveal the team and decision that helped mold the media mogul we know as Oprah and her OWN empire.
Black and brown excellence in every arena can be found on The Minority Trailblazer Podcast. Hosted by author and speaker Greg E. Hill, the show spotlights minority movers and shakers excelling in the unexpected.
"Ep. 2: From North Carolina A&T to Harvard to Educational Change w/ Master Educator Emilee Christopher"
"Ep 5: 'Work While You Work':How Comedian Darren Brand went from working at Target to MTV's Wild 'N Out"
Myleik Teele is the CEO and founder of CurlBox, but beyond this, she is a serial entrepreneur delivering loads of business, personal and relationship wisdom. She's very genuine and honest in her delivery, serving as the "mentor in mind" or "big sister in spirit" to her listeners.
Tony Robbins is a force. Beyond being the personification of a "gentle giant" with a very distinct voice, he is a multi-millionaire serial entrepreneur, author and speaker that openly shares his 30-plus years of business and financial wisdom, while also interviewing other leaders and experts, gaining insight into various topics ranging from food sciences and health to wealth building and entrepreneurialism to technology and social psychology.
No financial topic is unturned on this here podcast! Joshua Sheats has 450+ episodes on every topic you can think of and has the incredible ability to break it down to the simplest of terms for easy comprehesion and retention.
Hosted by two hilariously awkward black comedians Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson, 2 Dope Queens spotlights some stand-up comics you know and many you don't...so you never know what you are going to get!
Every Wednesday, I treat myself to a "look at all things mental health, mental wealth and mental hygiene, because" EYE do not want a "musty brain." This is the statement that kicks of each episode with the hosts Francheska, Dustin and Assante. This unexpected yet dynamic trio jumps from wellness/health tips to new music to vibe to to the latest in popular television. I don't watch reality TV, but Dustin's "TV Land" recaps are the only reason I may recognize a person's name *Kanye shrug*. He's more entertaining than the shows for me! I love the "Black Business of the Week" and the wellness discussions with Fran.
If you watch the hit HBO show "Insecure," then you'll love the official recap podcast hosted by Fran of The Friend Zone and Crissle of The Read. Insecuritea is just like the girl/group talks that happen across the country after each episode of Insecure, undoubtedly, and I never get tired of hearing the hilarious opinions, relating to our mutually "triggered" moments and reminding ourselves to withhold judgment on the poor decision makers Issa Rae puts before us for six, consecutive Sundays. Yes...I realize I inserted myself into the podcast as if I am contributing to their show. That's what listening feels like!
Produced by The New York Times, Still Processing is where the hosts Jenna & Wesley discuss a variety of social, cultural and political topics and their effects on modern, every day living. From music to movies to social event to new technology, the intellectual discourse (with a shot of tequila) is in no shortage.
The podcast that introduced me to podcasts! Kid Fury and Crissle have been dishing the "hot tops" of entertainment news, answering misguided listeners' often ridiculous questions and reading deserving miscreants to filth for over five years now. Entertainment, relationships, self-worth, mental health, poLITics...nothing is off limits. I live for the one-liners and anecdotes these two concoct. Also, as fellow Beyonce stans, I truly appreciate how they capture all my Beyonce-related emotions and share them with the world.
"Da Hee" (Nov. 19, 2015) - fast-forward to the last 18 minutes and 39 seconds of the show to hear Kid Fury educate the kids on the greatness that is Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott.
"BEYmergency: Formation" (Feb. 9, 2016) - if you were tuned into the surprises of "Beyonce Makes History Month," you'll enjoy this (NOTE: turn your volume down a bit for the first 2 minutes approximately...save your eardrums #thankmelater).
I just discovered The Black Joy Mixtape a few weeks ago, but I binged the episodes as soon as I heard Jazmine aka "Da King of the South" and Amber J. Phillips. I was hooked. Our humor aligns and their unapologetic black womanhood fills me up.
Jas's Favorite Episode: "#2 White People Would Make Awful Slaves" - with a title like that, you know you want to listen.
If you are tuned in to politics, then chances are you've heard of Angela Rye. CNN commentator, attorney, activist, and entrepreneur Angela Rye is the no holds barred, educated, big sister you've been wanting to see on TV since 45 announce his candidacy. Just google "Angela Rye highlights" and I'm sure a recap video of her commentary will appear for you to catch up. She just launched her podcast in July 2017, but has already had interviews with Representative Maxine Waters, award-winning journalist April Ryan and rapper-actor-activist Common, among others. This politically charge show breaks down various issues going on with our government, its officials and its effect on society and communicates very important information for those who may not get to watch the news often or grasp the content that is received.
TED Talks are probably the best source for condensed lessons on an endless variety of topics from proven experts and critics in the relative fields. By now, you've probably caught on that I like to learn, and there is no shortage of new information coming from the TED series.
Jas's Favorite Episode: "Nationalism vs. Globalism: The New Political Divide | Yuval Noah Harari" (August 2, 2017) - This episode is overflowing with gems on Gems on GEMS.
Another new addition to my feed, Facts Only features three friends, Dani, JB and KB, who all live in New York City. They discuss their personal experiences and opinions about many interesting topics, sourced from their audience, regarding womanhood and relationships. Smart, witty and funky AF - these ladies are a very real reflection of a girlfriends group.
Hosted by wellness mentor Alex Elle, the hey girl. podcast features intimate interviews with women from all walks of life on topics ranging from self-care to entrepreneurship to marriage to divorce to parenthood to miscarriages. These vulnerable interviews share some of the emotions and thoughts that often go hidden or overlooked for many people, especially women. So the hey girl. podcast, for me, is a "check-in" with myself on multiple levels.
Jas's Favorite Episode: "Episode 6: Roe on Minimalism" (April 23, 2017; I've already discussed my minimalist experience, so Roe gave me some further goals for the journey).
In the beginning, there was Oprah and toward the end, here she is again! Don't question it. Oprah has been hosting her SuperSoul Sunday conversations on OWN for a few years now, but in August, she began posting the audio from the episodes in podcast form. This is my version of my mother's daily 4pm experience with Oprah in the 90s and 2000s. With a focus on spiritual growth, similar to the direction she took her show as learned in the Making Oprah podcast, each episode is an interview with a savant in their own right. Don Miguel Ruiz, Sheryl Sandberg, Cookie Johnson, President Jimmy Carter, Tracy Morgan, Howard Schultz, India Arie, and Tony Robbins are just a few of the people who Oprah dives into the discussions of their best life lessons and practices for growing mental, emotionally and spiritually.
OneChurch LA: "Bishop TD Jakes: Call to Action" (Dec. 12, 2016) - Bishop Jakes is not playing with us. He gives the most practical advice for birthing the dreams God gave to us. It's a long episode, but it is worth listening to on a quarterly basis to ensure you're on track with your goals and their deadlines (emphasis on deadlines).
The Tim Ferris Podcast: #168 - Dissecting the Success of Malcolm Gladwell (June 21, 2016) - Tim Ferris, entrepreneur, investor and author of The Four-Hour Work Week, analyzes the journey of renowned author Malcolm Gladwell, who also has a podcast, Revisionist History. NOTE: Both authors are included in my online library.
I may add to this list or create a new one when the time comes. Until then, let me know which shows are new to you, which ones you like/love and any new show I should give a good listen. Like, comment and share the wealth with your friends, too!

"Monument dedicated by the Republic to the glory of French art."
At front of the Grand Palais, the entrance gives you a taste of the majestic and imposing nature of the Parisian museum, built in 1897, and opened for the 1900 Universal Exhibition.
• 200,000 tons of stone was used to construct the building.
The architecture of the Grand Palais is in itself symbolic of the tastes of the "La Belle Époque" at the turn of the twentieth century: large transparent structures made from a range of materials such as steel, iron, stone and copper.
Within the Grand Palais there are three distinct areas: the National Gallery, the Palais de la Découverte and the Nef as well as the Petit Palais, built just opposite the main building.
The National Galleries host art exhibitions. The Palais de la Découverte is dedicated to science while Nef showcases contemporary works of art.
The Petit Palais, opposite its older cousin, is dedicated to the fine arts. For ten years, the public has been able to discover contemporary photography that has earned a place in the building.
Since 2008, an extensive program of development and improvement has been underway to restore and enhance the Grand Palais, classed as a historical monument in 2000.

Randy has been cruising the dark neon-lit streets of the internet in search of singles chatrooms, and has found a beau from St. Louis named Molly. In an attempt to woo her, he has been using Tim's old love letters to Jill as inspiration, and by "inspiration", I mean complete plagiarism. However, when Molly shows up at the Taylor's home unannounced, Randy's plan unravels.
Meanwhile, on Tool Time, Tim is given the honor of speaking with the astronaut crew of the Endeavor who have brought some space tools for show and tell.
